Chapter 2181


    Didn’t they agree to have a little fun if they stumbled upon something interesting?


    The revolution hadn''t even seeded, and they were already turning traitors midway! She couldn''t


    count on these two!


    Ste whispered, "Would you believe me if I said I wanted to take your son and daughter out to see the


    world?"


    Keegan, his expression cold just responded with a grunt.


    Ste was speechless.


    Felicity chimed in, "Honesty is the best policy. Ste, just spill it."


    Vermont added, "Ste, remember our deal before we came here? We stick together through thick and


    thin. You can''t throw US under the bus now."


    Ste shot a re at the two traitors, then turned to meet Keegan''s intense gaze, immediately feeling


    flustered.


    "Well, actually, I was helping your uncle quit gambling."


    Keegan replied icily, “How much money did you transfer to her?"


    Pretending to be confused, Ste asked, "Who? I transferred money to someone?"


    Keegan took out his phone without a word. "If you won''t tell me, I''ll ask her.”


    Ste confessed immediately, "Not much, just two hundred and fifty million."N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    Keegan''s expression darkened. "Why did you give her money?"


    Vermont nced between them, then stood up, pulling Felicity with him."


    We''re heading out to get some groceries. You two can sort this out.”


    With that, he dragged Felicity away, leaving Ste and Keegan alone in the room.


    Ste moved closer to sit beside Keegan. "Honey..." "Stay there and talk, don''te over."


    Keegan interrupted her, wary of her coaxing him and making himself vulnerable.


    Ste remained seated. "Your uncle''spany ran into trouble, and your mom asked for my help. I


    transferred her some money. Who knew it would end up being used for gambling? I just wanted to


    teach him a lesson."


    Keegan looked at her, his gaze deep andplex.


    He understood the animosity between Dahlia and Ste. Dahlia''s bankruptcy was a joke to her; why


    would she help?


    Keegan stared at her for a long moment before asking, "Is she threatening you with something?"


    Ste shook her head instinctively. "No."


    Ignoring her denial, Keegan continued, "Is this rted to me?"


    Ste remained silent.


    Keegan spoke again, "I know what kind of person she is better than you. Is she threatening to use


    me of neglecting my duties? I''m not afraid. You shouldn''t have agreed to her; she''s insatiable, never


    satisfied."


    Seeing him like this, Ste felt uneasy.


    Dahlia could ask for money for ke''s sake, but she was harsh when it came to her own son.


    Dahlia knew how to love, but she never showed that love to Keegan.


    Ste moved closer, gently stroking his hand. "You''re not afraid, but I am.


    My husband, you''re generous and noble. I can''t let her tarnish you."


    Keegan pulled her into his arms, closing his eyes. "Then you should also tell me. In a ce like that,


    with all sorts of shady characters, what if something had happened? What would be of me?"


    Ste patted his shoulder lightly. "Actually, I only went in once on the first day. After that, I stayed in the


    lounge. It was all Vermont''s doing. After everything is settled, we must buy him a nice meal, to show


    our gratitude."


    Keegan''s face darkened. "He took you to a ce like that, and I should thank him? It’s good enough


    that I don''t hold him ountable. Why should I thank him?"


    Ste lightly tapped his head. "Vermont is already looking out for me. Why would others help me if not


    for your sake? y nice."


    Keegan pursed his lips and remained silent.


    Not long after ke was thrown onto the street, he was caught by debt collectors.


    Dahlia couldn''t reach him, and it wasn''t until the next morning that ke called. When Dahlia picked


    up, she asked, "Where have you been? You''ve not been picking up my calls." "Are you Dahlia?"
